I guess this is how I sustain the novelty of lucid dreaming, and what it means to me; as much as I want to have a lucid dream to develop experiential learning that can bleed onto waking life, if I let my whole assessment in life be hinged solely on that, I’ll burnout, and start hating it again because it becomes a matter of win-lose instead of being engrossed in the idea of lucid dreaming supplementing self-progression.

I agree, relying on any one thing to influence your experience definitely can lead to burn-out. You seem well-aware of what you're doing and why you're doing it.

Yeah, I can’t even count with my fingers where I take the back-seat, and let the dream blossom on its own. If you asked me this question a few years ago, I would tell you that they would be non-lucid dreams, but even with those, there’s just some absorption going on that I tend to do, mostly because maybe subconsciously, I understand my emotions, and didn’t feel the need to put them into context because:

- By me understanding the environment, I could thus understand the type of disposition I had at the time with the dream (e.g. swampy areas that may mean I’m apprehensive about something, or fearful, or spacious environments where I’m more comfortable and at ease)

- In other words, I guess by analyzing the environments, the type of dreaming identity I cultivate is hinged partially, or even more, on that.

I try to do something where I know I’m dreaming, but then go into a behind-the-camera point of view with the back seat, and then coming in to actively do something, and repeating to kind of keep myself aware. Because if I go with one extreme, i.e., having the dream environment and plot be solely hinged upon my conscious willpower, it will backfire at some point because I’d be in awe of all the probabilities I could assess myself with, and it’s back to just not caring as much, and letting my mind unfold why things are occurring.

Hey Link. I notice in many of your dreams you're actively engaged and always interacting with your environment. Have you ever tried detaching from that and simply watching? Becoming basically a non-participant and sitting back to view the dream?

I couldn't resist reading this when I saw a poo-pourri bottle there.
Maybe this can be your inspiration for your next Photoshop face morphing session.
PS. I think mascara is the word you're looking for.

Its great that you are inspired by your dreams to make changes and that you don't mind even the meaningless parts of your dreams. Frustration can build a wall for us but finding the inspiration we need allows us to move forward. So I think your opinion is a good one cause that's how I feel and felt about dreams and life too. : )

That cheetos bag looks so good right now. Also, I find it funny how Peggy and Lin appeared in your dream. I would have never imagined those two together. Lol That picture of Peggy makes it even more funny.

As long as you leave a piece of an empty bag for me, you can have all the cheetos you want.
